For Science!

The brain is one of the most complex structures in the known universe. Nothing can explain its workings. BUT there is so much research into the brain: its functions including psychology. But neurology would be an incredible field to work in.

I can't explain how my brain works, yet it does. I can't explain my psychology, but I own it. But do we really choose our psychology? What control do we have over how our brain works? Very little, actually: but I won't scare you.

Anyone going into neurology deserves respect.

Intelligence is incredible. Because insects do have intelligence. Animals have intelligence. Unfortunately I have not studied such things, but it would be fascinating to do so.

Bigger isn't always better!

Another sciencey crossword puzzle. You don't have to know all the answers off the top of your head.. it's a good way to learn new things

Resistance is futile.

We are learning more and more about science. I also think that knowledge will carry on increasing for the rest of humanity. The human race will never die.

It's like now we are all about protecting our planet:

1. Recycling our trash
2. Reducing plastic in the oceans
3. Not cutting down trees for paper: instead recycling paper
4. Having electric cars: instead of polluting petrol cars
5. Disposing on aerosols better
6. Upcycling
7. Using wind farms
8. Using solar power
9. Being aware of our carbon footprint
10.Protecting our animals

There is so much more, but we're getting there.

No, we have a thing where they won't accept plastic bags.. we have to take them to special drop-off sites.

We are just about to get yet another bin for seperate paper recycling. As our recycling bin is seldom anywhere near full on collection day anyway I do wonder. For reference, our ordinary bin is also seldom anywhere near full. As we use lots of unbagged things like vegetables etc we just don't fill things and our bins are family sized but the children are no longer at home. We do have the space for an additional bin, with a bit of juggling, but I do wonder about terraced houses with little space. Four bins would be a nightmare. We already have ordinary waste, recycled and garden waste. I don't use the garden waste bin, except for storage, as I recycle everything.

I know what you mean about the 'right plastic' Cherry. I am afraid it irritates me. The rules on what is right and what is not keep changing and my take is that I am not a plastics expert. It's not made easier when looking at packaging for the recycle symbol then finding out that local recycling does not conform. Standard rules should be used rather than local authorities making decisions on what makes the most money rather than what can be recycled.

We have no issues here with glass yet Karen but you never know.

That sounds preferential, IF, it's one or the other.

Yes for sure. I have always been interested in just about anything science. Enogh so that I majored in Biology and went on to get my Masters.

Science was always one of my favorite and best subjects.

That's why I made this board part of the forum
